Condensing exhaust temperature

[vulcancontinental]

That wasn't the point of my post but thanks for the information, you're right that the water would never have been in liquid state in this case.

Regarding your suggestion that the chemical reaction necessarily produces vapour it was actually the temperature that caused it to be vapour. There are plenty of oxidising reactions that produce water in liquid state e.g. metabolism of glucose in your cells.

Not at over 950 degrees.

We're really getting into nit picking now though,

One has to nit pick when attempting to get an extra 0.5% efficiency from a boiler.

[it wouldn't be liquid] at over 950 degrees.

sounds like we agree

Thankyou for all the o level physics lessons,,,brings back memories of my teacher,,,,Mr Newton. ...lol....nicknamed Isaac,,,,,of course.
